ARTS WIRE OPEN HOME
Arts Wire's website at http://www.artswire.org is a central place
to visit the cyberhomes of the
diverse artists and art organizations who are Arts Wire members.
This week CURRENT invites
readers to visit the home page of THE CLAY STUDIO.
THE CLAY STUDIO -- http://www.libertynet.org/~claystdo -- is
celebrating its 25TH
ANNIVERSARY, this weekend, November 12-14 with a benefit featuring
live & silent auction
entertainment, a "collectors' weekend" which will include tours of
major private collections &
artists' studios, dinners & brunches hosted by area collectors,
receptions at Philadelphia's premier
fine craft galleries & entrance to the Philadelphia Museum of Art
Craft Show.
The web site currently features images of work by Paul Soldner,
Don Reitz, Nancy Carman,
Betty Woodman, Wesley Anderegg and many others participating in
the exhibition/auction THE
ART OF POURING.
The Clay Studio, non-profit organization solely dedicated to
education and instruction in the
ceramic arts, serves as the primary resource center for
professional clay artists, beginning and
advanced students, and ceramic collectors throughout the region.
Founded in 1974 as an artists' collective, it was envisioned as a
"halfway house" for students fresh
out of art school, offering affordable studio space and shared
equipment. Within a short time,
however, the Clay Studio artists consciously shifted the Studio's
mission from an inward focus to
an outward educational and community focus. It was the artists'
intention to affirm the importance
of the ceramic arts alongside other art forms as well as to bring
clay as an accessible, tactile
medium to a broad range of people.
In the past five years The Clay Studio has experienced dramatic
growth, made possible through
the development and renovation of the Second Street Art Building,
which provides not only
expanded facilities for the Studio but galleries for three other
artist collectives as well.
